Since knowing that Ah Gu was not her Ah Gu, every time Zhang Xi came to Changqiu Temple, he would go around in front of the prayer building, and then stand under the mulberry tree for a long time.

The wind and snow are unhindered, and they do not listen to people's dissuasion.

Sometimes a stop is a morning, or an afternoon.

The monks near the prayer building were accustomed to this kind of scene, and at first some people came forward to persuade them, but later they were not surprised.

Today, Zhang Xi walked to the mulberry tree, and as soon as she reached out to wipe the snow on the trunk, she heard someone calling her, turned her head to look, and saw that the clear sky was approaching, and there were several monks behind her, in addition to Hui Chun.

"Clear space, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year,"

After Jingkong finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Xi's little fat hand that was red from the snow, "If you don't like the snow on the trunk of this mulberry tree, you can let the monks in the temple clean it up every morning and evening." ”

When Zhang Xi heard this, he realized that Hui Chun and the four monks behind him, each with a broom in their hands, had come prepared, Zhang Xi looked up at the clear space, and was facing a pair of black eyes, which were shining.

Very seriously, as if as long as she nodded, he could get Hui Chun to come forward and clear the snow from the tree trunk.

"No need." Zhang Xi shook her head, she didn't want to clear the snow, but wanted to get closer to this mulberry tree, not to mention, the snow can freeze the insect eggs on the trunk, which can prevent the mulberry tree from suffering from insect infestation in the next year.

Therefore, there is no need for bhikshus to clean every day.

"Ah, how long are you going to stay under this tree this time?"

"What's wrong? Something? Zhang Xi looked back at the clear space.

"I would like to invite you to sit in the Zen room,"

Jingkong nodded and said, "But don't worry, no matter how long you stay, I can wait for you here." ”

When Zhang Xi heard this, she was a little embarrassed, although Jingkong said this, but unless she didn't know, otherwise, she couldn't let him stand here and wait, "Go to your meditation room." ”

"Okay." When he answered, he frowned slightly, and then turned around to lead the way in front.

Before Zhang Xi left, he reached out and touched the trunk again.

When she walked to the Zen courtyard and followed her into the meditation room where Jingkong lived, Zhang Xi realized how she seemed to be being led by the nose, and even she didn't realize why she came to his meditation room with Jingkong.

But looking at the clear and bright eyes, she felt that she was thinking too much.

"You've been reading lately?" Zhang Xi asked, as soon as she entered the room, she saw three rows of five-story bookshelves placed against the wall in the meditation room.

"Yes."

"What books are you reading?"

"Some sutras and medical books."

Zhang Xi listened, lack of interest, took the honey water handed over by the clear space, took a sip, and when he put the celadon cup on the desk, his eyes suddenly aimed at the open page on the desk, there was a line of words: borrow the corpse to return the soul.

I was immediately drawn to it.

Zhang Xi was about to reach out to take it, but he pounced on it and let the clear space be put away one step in advance, "Don't read this kind of book." ”

"If you can see it, I can see it too." Zhang Xi stretched out his hand towards the clear space and begged, "Hurry up, show me." ”

"Nope." Clearspace directly put the book under the futon.

"Give it to me." Zhang Xi originally only had three points to see, but it can be seen that he was hiding it like this, but he added another three points, "If you don't give it to me, if you don't give it to me, I'll rob it, let Cen Fumu and Hu Yu come in and help me grab it." ”

Jingkong hesitated for a moment when he heard this, then took out the book under the futon and handed it to Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi reached out to take it, but Jingkong didn't let go immediately, held the other end of the book tightly, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Ah Yan, this is what you want to see yourself, and if you are scared later, you are not allowed to call an adult." ”

"Don't worry, I won't be scared."

The strength in Zhang Xi's hand unconsciously used a few more points, but who knew that the other party suddenly let go, Zhang Xi leaned back because of too much force, and hurriedly reached out to hold a few sides, so he didn't fall.

"Sorry, I didn't warn you." When Jingkong said this, he looked innocent.

"You did it on purpose." Zhang Xi saw it and said indignantly: "Stupid, you also learned badly." ”

Jingkong smiled, and a glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes, which made Zhang Xi feel so familiar that he forgot to ask again, until Jingkong knocked on a few sides, "Do you still look at it?" ”

"Look, of course." Zhang Xi hurriedly said, looking down and seeing the cover of the book "The Story of the Eight Immortals".

In Zhang Xi's memory, it seems that she has not read this book, but what she wants to read more is the page where the resurrection of the corpse was written just now, and Zhang Xi quickly turned it over with ten lines at a glance.

I just searched for a while, but I couldn't find it.

Jingkong looked at Zhang Xi and read the content of the book, but he was not afraid, so he put his mind at ease and leaned over and said, "If you want to see the page you just opened, I may find it for you." ”

"Silly, I've found that you're getting smarter." Zhang Xi smiled, she didn't say anything, Qingkong could guess it, and handed the book to Jingkong, "Here you go, I want to see the page I opened just now." ”

"Okay." The clearance was quickly turned over, and it was written about the story of Tie Guan Li Xian.

Zhang Xi saw that line of words again, looked down carefully, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn, that person was borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, so he appeared in Ah Gu's body and occupied Ah Gu's body.

All-in-one.

But Ah Gu died, but she couldn't accept it.

It seems that she still has to meet that person, ask what the situation was at the time, how did he get into Ah Gu's body, since he occupies Ah Gu's body, she can't keep a blind eye.

Now that Ah Gu is gone, Changqiu Temple and that body have become her only thoughts.

"Ahh, Ahhh......h

Zhang Xi came back to his senses, only to see that the clear air's eyes were full of anxiety, "What's wrong with you, why shouldn't you be called suddenly?" ”

"I'm fine." Zhang Xi shook his head.

Jingkong took away the book in Zhang Xi's hand, "Ah Yan, don't read this kind of book in the future." Sure enough, he was too young to be easily frightened, and he shouldn't have taken the book out.

"Why don't you read this kind of miscellaneous books, don't you only read scriptures or medical books?"

"Who told you I only read the scriptures and medical books?" Jingkong asked rhetorically, rubbing the "Eight Immortals" in his hand with both hands.

"......" Zhang Xi thought to himself, he really didn't say anything about the clear space, he only read the scriptures and medical books, and they were all misled by the words of his master Master Zhu, who always said that his apprentice was obsessed with scriptures and medical books.

This kind of miscellaneous book of strange people, even if you like it, you probably won't be embarrassed to say it to the outside world.

"You like these kinds of miscellaneous books?" Although Zhang Xi asked, his tone was determined.

Unexpectedly, the clear space did not dodge, but admitted, "Yes, I like it, but this kind of miscellaneous books, there is no library in the temple, this "Eight Immortals", or I went to the gold market for a long time to find one." ”

"There are some of these miscellaneous books on the gold market." Zhang Xi remembered that in that life, most of the miscellaneous books in Ah Gu's hands, except for those found in the gold market, were obtained from some private collectors who liked to hunt for curiosities.

In addition, due to the accumulation of books over the years, the family has a rich collection of books, and some can also be found.

"We should be able to find one or two books in our house and in the clan, and I can look for them when I go back." Zhang Xi remembered that in that life, Ah Gu also found a copy.

It stands to reason that she should keep it for her Ah Gu, but now, the lonely ghost in that body doesn't even understand etiquette, and she doesn't want to leave it to him, just like the big box of calligraphy and paintings she collected, she can't give it away.

"Okay, after the New Year's Festival, I'll go find you."

"Your master said that you can see ten lines at a glance, and when the time comes, I will take you over, and you can find it yourself." The collection of books in the house and the clan is full of a building, with millions of volumes, and even bamboo slip engraving plates left by the ancestors.

"Okay." The eyes are clear, and the long, thick eyelashes cover the joy in the eyes.

"I'll go to Hongchi's Lantern Festival with Aya at night, do you want to go with you?"

When Jingkong heard this, he was about to say that he would not go, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who participates?" ”

"Listening to Aya, officials above the fifth grade of Luojing will participate." This lantern festival was organized by Wang Yu Wenhao of Pengcheng, and most of the officials would go over to cheer for it.

"I'm going to talk to the master." Jingkong changed his words, he remembered that his grandfather Dr. Ren Guozi, the official rank was the fifth grade, the Gu family would go, and he also wanted to follow to meet Aye Aniang, and kowtow to them in the new year.

Zhang Xi directly packed the ticket, "Don't worry, I'll go and tell your master." ”

She didn't understand, when he was stupid in the past, Master Zhu didn't prohibit travel in the clear space, but now that he is well, he is already a normal person, but Master Zhu is strict, and he even has to ask for instructions when he goes out.

——*——*——

The two went to Master Zhu's meditation room together.

A cloth robe, but the lips are red and the teeth are white, the eyebrows are picturesque, a brocade fur, pink and delicate, the apricot eyes are clear, the end is like a painting, just from the painting down two boys, pleasing to the eye.

Whether it was Master Zhu or Zhang Ying, the expressions on their faces froze when they saw the two of them.

Zhang Ying asked first: "Ah Yan, didn't you go to the side of the scripture building, why are you with Jingkong?" ”

"I met it on the other side of the prayer building."

Zhang Xi replied and walked in front of Aya, "Aya, Silly stays in the temple all day and rarely goes out, tonight's lantern festival, he will also go with us, okay?" ”

Zhang Ying looked at him and saluted, and then obediently walked to the clear space where Master Zhu saluted, looking quietly, but he could let his daughter speak for him every time.

There is also the gold wire bracelet on his hand, which is an eyesore no matter how you look at it.

The youngest daughter was reluctant to go out, this trip to the house, he finally coaxed him to come, this stupid boy just met his daughter, and his daughter wanted to take him, Zhang Ying was very reluctant.

It's just that he looked at his daughter with anticipation, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Aya, take him with you, it's more lively with one more person."

After listening to her daughter's words, Zhang Ying couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said: "Don't be happy, if Master Zhu has other arrangements at night, you can't let him go against his master's arrangement because of you." ”

Master Zhu nodded, and was about to say that he had left the clear space to do something.

But I heard Jingkong take the first step and said: "Seven days before the first month, there is no Dharma in the temple, and there is no sutra class, and I have already completed the homework assigned to me by the master." ”

"Headroom." Master Zhu shouted with some dissatisfaction.

Listening to Jingkong unhurriedly, he said: "Master, after the victory day, I will accompany you to analyze "Huayan". "The Huayan scripture has just been passed from the Western Regions, and Master Zhu has not been able to read it yet, and there are many places that he can't understand.

Master Zhu looked at his apprentice in surprise, "Have you finished reading it?" After asking, I felt stupid again, according to the speed of reading the book in the clear space, I must have finished reading it earlier, and I hurriedly confirmed: "I mean, you understand everything." ”

Clearance hesitated, "There are a few places where I don't know if I understand it right?" ”

"Then why don't you ask the teacher?"

Jingkong glanced at the master suspiciously, and he remembered that the master didn't seem to have finished reading it himself.

Master Zhu suddenly understood, and his old face suddenly turned red.

He hasn't finished reading it himself, how can he solve his apprentice's doubts, not to mention, because of the experience of the two of them getting along for more than half a year, I am afraid that he understands it, and it is not as thorough as the little apprentice.

If you want to stop the apprentice from going out, you can't say it anymore.

In the end, under the scorching gaze of the clear air, he could only nod his head and watch him go out.

However, when he saw the entanglement in Zhang Ying's eyes, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and even his heart was smooth.

——*——*——

The sea of lights is like day, and the flow of people is like weaving.

Zhang Xi thought of a lot of people at first, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

"How can Luo Jing have so many officials above the fifth grade?" Zhang Ying muttered, it was comparable to the flow of people when the gold market opened in the morning.

"Why don't Aya take you to the high platform, the lanterns over there are big and beautiful, and it's convenient to watch the fireworks later." Zhang Ying hugged the daughter in his arms, because there were many people, he didn't let his daughter go by herself, and even let Chen Yi hold the clear space, "The Fu family's Qiniang is on the high platform, do you want to go over there and play with her?" ”

"We'll go over later, let's take a walk around first." Zhang Xi replied.

When she entered, she saw a lot of people, and it happened that the people of King Pengcheng came to invite Aya to go to the high platform, and most of the people who went there were very good personal relations with King Pengcheng, or important ministers in the court, so compared to the light market street below, there were relatively few people, and she was about to agree, but she heard Jingkong say that he wanted to visit the street market below.

Zhang Xi listened, so he had to accompany him.

She brought people over, threw them here, and ran away.

What's more, Fu Xuan, the nineteenth lang of the Fu family, used to like to play tricks on the clear space, and that troublemaker is now also running around in the crowd of the light market.

However, after only walking a short distance, there were countless people who came forward to greet Aye, and they were too annoying, and after the civil servant Long Zhong left in front of him, Zhang Xi couldn't stand it first, and said with some disgust: "Aye, why don't you go to the high platform first, let Uncle Chen accompany me around, and I'll go there to find you later." ”

Zhang Ying was also full of helplessness, looking at Ouyang Wenxue from Shangshu Mansion rushing forward, he had to nod and agree, if he was here, his daughter really couldn't look at the lights, so she could only keep recognizing people, and handed Zhang Xi to Cen Fumu, and told Chen Yi again.

Then he exchanged a few words with Ouyang Wenxue, and hurriedly left the market first and went to the high platform.

Zhang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the taste of being surrounded by people was really not good, he favored his own master, and wherever he went, he was like standing out from the crowd and attracting attention.
